    Mmmmm...I see. Next time I crash, I'll make sure you're not part of the ortho team, yes?

    Seriously though, how's your French? Not sure if De Costa even speaks English. QUOTE]

    What rock have you been hiding under? Charlie Boorman has a very apt surname, and De costa is Itallian.
    I been hiding under my rock. lol

    I'd just finished watching the french gp (see I knew there was french somewhere), and couldn't remember nationality (I'd had some wines as well) - my bad (hey, they're filthy foreigners, it's all the same to me, it's a language I don't speak or understand hahaha - then again, who the hell understands what doctors say and write anyways, they use them big words with more than one syllable).

    How exciting!

    Go Dr Price!
    I'll carry the suitcase!! haha, what a fantastic goal to reach for, if it were me I'd definately create a video CV which encompasses your participation and love of racing and medical knowledge/skills (and obviously your clear concise hard copy citing qualifications/hobbies to back it up of course)
    I suggest you learn everything you can about the Clinica Mobile, until you know the philosphy, aims and goals, the names, the years, the circuits, expressions, read up as much as you can until you know it inside and out.
    It pays to know your target/goal and have the knowledge to converse.

    Looking over the website it gives a good overview, but there'll be more to find.

    My knee hurts !!!!
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    What a great ambition!
    You have a bit of time up your sleeve to work on it so I would agree to try and do the most professional and unusual application that you can, and if they turn you down don't let that stop you from trying again!
    Do you need to have paid employment for the 3 months? Offering your services for free may help?

    Good luck I hope you succeed

    Oh yeah its not paid work anyway

    Yeah video CV seems to stick out so far, mainly because you cant portray enthusiasm and excitement as well, using words on a page

    Excellent idea. The Auckland ambo's used to have a couple of rapid response beemers, my mate rode one for a while, based out in West Auck, don't know if they still have them though.

    I have just come up with this crazy pipeline dream with what to do with at least part of my 3 months, Go help out with Clinica Mobile!

    Its madness to think they would even accept me but I guess I can only try hey???

    So anyway just asking for help for ideas of how to get their attention, make them even think about considering having me, even if its only for one event!

    Obviously I love bikes, (motogp riders ) but mostly Im loving the idea of Orthopaedics, the idea of using chisels and screws in surgery really appeals to me!!!

    So any fabulous ideas???
    Get ahold of Terry Stephenson...he's a Jorno in New Zealand. He may have a few contacts as he's riden Motogp bikes in very recent times. Let me know how you get on...as I may have another Idea too.

    You'll be needing someone to carry your bags for you too.
